Changed out my bad (low output) vac pump on Thursday, and the replacement is pulling 22 hg's, so that's great. It seems to shift better, and the heat is staying warm, unlike before when it would heat up fine, but after about 10 minutes would settle back to cool.

The main problem, the car not shutting off when I turned off the key, is not completely fixed. It will idle and eventually die after about 30-60 seconds, but it's not shutting down immediately. So I'm wondering if I may need to adjust the linkage to the shut off valve(??)

I have now recently replaced the shut off valve at the ip, a couple of check valves under the hood, the vacuum pump, the ignition switch housing, and checked the vacuum at the lines under the hood. I'm going to go out and check all vac lines under the hood one more time to make sure there's no leak (in case I bumped or cracked something the other day), but if everything on the vacuum line is ok, where do I go from there??
